Chapter 64: The Leaderboard Starts to Heat Up!
Lin Feng sent a message to Zhang Han: “Don’t come over. Return to your position immediately. I’ve found a way to crack this. I’ll send it to you three hours before the mission ends.”
Zhang Han, who was on his way, hesitated for a moment after seeing the message but then turned back without questioning it.
Lin Feng looked at the distant zombies, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He set the rally point in the middle floor of a construction site.
“Everyone, gather all the steel you can replace. Marines, hand over your high-explosive grenades to me. Once the cooldown is over, take out the grenades from your waist,” Lin Feng ordered.
All the soldiers sprang into action, and Lin Feng was no exception. He began working directly at a spot with rebar.
“Da Niu, what was your previous job?” Lin Feng asked.
Da Niu scratched his head, “Ahem, rebar worker.”
“Can you connect this place to the top floor over there using rebar?” Lin Feng asked.
“Yes, if it’s just for people to pass through, it can be done quickly,” Da Niu confirmed.
The construction site where Lin Feng was currently located was less than 30 meters from the place he had come from, so he hadn’t moved far. The top floor of the low building was less than 10 meters from the construction site.
The collection of rebar was completed quickly. The Steel Flamethrower soldiers’ armor was robust enough to easily snap the rebar, and the construction site had no shortage of exposed rebar.
“System, can I directly absorb this rebar as steel material?” Lin Feng asked in his mind.
【No, for this mission, you can only gather building materials and collect other unrelated resources.】
Lin Feng knew it wouldn’t be that simple; the system would never make the task so easy.
In less than half an hour, Da Niu had connected five pieces of rebar, each over thirty meters long. His method was quite scientific, using his flamethrower to melt the rebar and fuse the pieces together.
Da Niu remarked, “Even if I wasn’t a rebar worker before, I could still do this.”
Lin Feng initially thought Da Niu would connect the rebar using some other method, but he hadn’t expected Da Niu to use the flamethrower directly.
“Quickly connect to that building. This is for you Steel Flamethrower soldiers; the other soldiers won’t need to use it.” After speaking, Lin Feng pointed to the rope crossbow on the marines’ chests.
Zhang Heng held the rope crossbow designed for such terrain, aimed at the building opposite, and fired.
With a “whoosh,” the crossbow bolt shot out and securely hooked onto the other side.
Then, using the hook on their gear, they could cross over directly.
Qin Suliu and the two nurses also had hooks on their combat leather outfits.
With everything ready, Lin Feng assigned two marines to place the grenades.
In a short time, they had amassed over a hundred high-explosive grenades. These grenades were conjured by the marines using their skills, consuming only stamina and not requiring actual grenades.
However, these high-explosive grenades could only exist for an hour. If they could exist permanently, the marines could essentially become a munitions factory.
Lin Feng shared his plan with Zhang Han and then asked, “You have marines, right?”
Zhang Han replied, “Yes, I have two marines. I should be able to replace a smaller building.”
At this moment, the system’s leaderboard showed the first person to complete the mission.
【Survivor Liu Chuang has obtained 514 units of building materials and successfully exited! Currently ranked first.】
【Survivor Wang He has obtained 372 units of building materials and successfully exited! Currently ranked second.】
…
From now on, although there was still plenty of time before the mission ended, many survivors had already figured out the method. After gathering the building materials, they immediately retreated without lingering. The twenty laborers collected resources quickly, reaching the 300-unit mark in no time, and then exited promptly.
The world channel was in an uproar.
“Damn, Big Brother Liu Chuang is amazing! Wasn’t he only ranked around tenth in the zombie tide rankings? And now he’s in first place?”
“Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!”
Liu Chuang himself proudly sent a message: “Ahem, we must remain humble and not be too arrogant. I know I’m strong now, but we must stay low-key…”
【Survivor Chen Yunyun has obtained 1,035 units of building materials and successfully exited! Currently ranked first overall.】
Before Liu Chuang could finish his words, Chen Yunyun had already topped the leaderboard.
Chen Yunyun smiled, her soldiers all injured but their wounds visibly healing at a rapid pace. They were clearly invigorated, having taken some kind of potion.
“Hmph, I exchanged a large amount of Tier 1 potions from God Lin. Can you surpass me?”
Lin Feng paid no attention to the leaderboard data. These numbers were too small, achievable within a few minutes.
These survivors didn’t care about the laborers’ lives. They just held out for a while and retreated when necessary.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s laborers had also been summoned and were ready to start work at any time.
Lin Feng looked at the zombies in the distant building, his expression indifferent.
